On the other hand one can simply anchor somewhere away from the common
herd. I for one go sailing to get away from people. Then you can do as
you damned please.

Maybe in the magic land of far far away but anyplace I've ever been,
anchorages are designated areas or only a few areas are suitable. During
my singlehanding the entire eastern coast, I'd say I only anchored alone
maybe half a dozen times over many months. Someone else always showed up
or was there.

The only discourteous boat was a power boat who played music loudly.
Someone (not me) cut his anchor rope & he got the message I suppose and
left.

Okay, so we've been blessed...or very anti-social. I love people & being
around them...and also time with us alone. Funny, but in Florida I've often
found places to anchor alone...or at least pretty far from any other boats.

Power boaters blasting music...and kicking up huge wakes as they pass
through the anchorage...stink-boaters! O...right...my dear ol' Dad is now
running a GB...oops. :-).
